📋 About This Mod
===========
DESCRIPTION
===========
Cipscis' Automatic Save Manager, or CASM for short, adds configurable automatic and hotkey saving to Skyrim Special Edition.
CASM does not affect Skyrim's existing quicksave or autosave systems. It can
be used alongside them, or you can disable them and CASM can be used
By default, Skyrim keeps the 3 most recent autosaves and the 1 most recent quicksave, as well as allowing you to make manual
saves via the menu. CASM keeps a configurable number of saves (5 by
default) which can be created automatically and manually, and allows you
to quickly load the most recent of these via a hotkey.
The name of the save created will be the name of your character, followed by a
number. This means you can keep separate sets of CASM saves for separate
characters without them overriding one another, so long as these
characters do not have the same name.
Copy the scripts folder and CASM.esp into your Data folder and enable CASM.esp. If you
install through a mod manager such as the Nexus Mod Manager, this
should all be done for you automatically.
To uninstall this mod, disable CASM.esp. Scripts folder and CASM.esp may then be
removed. If you installed CASM through a mod manager such as the Nexus
Mod Manager, this should all be done for you automatically.
============
REQUIREMENTS
============
CASM requires SKSE and SkyUI. They can be downloaded here:
SKSE: http://skse.silverlock.org/
SkyUI: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/12604
SKSE is required for creating and loading named saves via script, and for SkyUI.
SkyUI is required so CASM can be configured in a Mod Configuration Menu.
=============
CONFIGURATION
=============
CASM can be configured via an in-game menu courtesy of SkyUI's MCM (Mod
Configuration Menu). The following options are available:
Automatic Save Options:
Enable Autosaves
Default: On
When checked, CASM will save automatically
Autosave Frequency
Default: 5 minutes
The frequency with which CASM will save automatically. (1-30 minutes)
Use Real Autosaves
Default: Off
When checked, CASM will use normal autosaves instead of creating a CASM
save. Use this option if you want the configurable autosaving but find
the slight pause caused by creating a full save too jarring. Automatic
saves created in this way will not count toward the total number of
saves maintained by CASM, and cannot be loaded via CASM's quickload
Save In Combat
Default: Off
If this option is not checked, CASM will not save a

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested port with 273 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads.
- Gives you control over when saves happen, so you don't lose progress to crashes.
- Hotkey saving is a godsend for quick manual saves without menu diving.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires SKSE, so you're locked into the script extender ecosystem.
- Last updated in 2019, so it might not play nice with the latest game patches.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that manage saves or use hotkeys.
For Skyrim SE players who've lost hours to a crash and want automated save backups. Also for modders who want quick-save hotkeys without the vanilla delay. Skip if you're fine with the default save system or don't want to bother with SKSE.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure SKSE is installed and launched via skse64_loader.exe, not the vanilla launcher.
- Set up a dedicated hotkey for saving to avoid accidental overwrites.
- Check your load order to ensure CASM doesn't conflict with other save-related mods.
